Meera Maheshwari has two moods: CEO slay and chaos gremlin. Between handling her beauty empire, dodging her mom's wake-up raids, and surviving her best-friend-since-forever Dev Oberoi's sarcastic commentary, life is hectic-but still normal. Cute-normal. Meme-normal.
Until it isn't.
Because behind the perfect Instagram-life, there's a shadow her family never talks about-her brother Raj, a name that feels like both a memory and a warning.
As Meera and Dev move through their everyday routines-meetings, family dinners, banter, cookies, late-night text-wars the universe quietly starts plotting something bigger. Something scarier. Something connected to Raj... and a world Meera has no clue she's about to crash into.
What begins as soft family drama and slow-burn tension soon twists into clues, riddles, cities, secrets, and a truth that'll shake both the Maheshwaris and Obereois.
This is a story of comfort and chaos.
Friendship and almost-love.
Homes that feel safe... and truths that don't.
And Meera? She's about to find out that the life she thinks she's living is only the prologue.

A trigger was pulled...and it wasn't mine.
※※※
Ever and her team had been locked in the arena for seven years, and throughout those seven years she has been tortured, played with and lied to. Her trust in everyone was slipping and her confused feeling for the boy she's known since she was six, was starting to pull her back -- keeping her from being who she was and her duty.
Her duty was to rid the world of this terrible game called, 'The Emag', (formerly known as 'The Bloody Desires'). Why? She didn't want others to experience her pain and confusion. She wanted children to be safe -- to be loved. Not torn to pieces by machines and not starved to death.
Even with her thorough planning, nothing ever went as planned. Captured. Humiliated. Tortured. All again.
Ever was beginning to wonder if her plan would succeed...and if she could finally escape the abuse once and for all, well keeping her team alive.
